前灰狼員工被捕，被指控竊取硬碟上的戰略資訊

A former Minnesota Timberwolves employee has been charged with
stealing strategic information from the hard drive of the head of
the team's analytics department.

一名前灰狼隊員工被指控從球隊分析部門負責人的硬碟上竊取戰略資訊。

Per Paul Walsh of the Star Tribune, Somak Sarkar, 33, was arrested
on Monday and charged with felony third-degree burglary in
Hennepin County District Court. He remains jailed in lieu of
$40,000 bail and is scheduled for a court appearance on Thursday
afternoon.

根據《Star Tribune》的 Paul Walsh 的說法，33歲的 Somak Sarkar 週一被
捕，並在 Hennepin County District Court 被指控犯有三級入室盜竊重罪。
他仍然被監禁，代替4萬美元的保釋金，並定於週四下午出庭。

Sachin Gupta, the head of Minnesota's analytics department, had
his work hard drive stolen from his Target Center office last
month, per a criminal complaint filed Wednesday. When he got his
hard drive back a week later, it was found that "roughly 5,700
files were copied that held employment and player contracts, 'as
well as strategic NBA information,'" per Walsh.

根據週三提交的刑事投訴，明尼蘇達州分析部門負責人 Sachin Gupta 上個月
在中心辦公室的工作硬碟被盜。 一週後，當他拿回硬碟時，發現
“大約5700份檔案被複製，其中包含員工資訊和球員合約，'以及NBA戰略資訊'”
。

The hard drive also contained Gupta's tax returns and other
financial information, plus his login and passwords from a
password management app, according to the complaint. Sarkar was
fired after the team learned of the hard drive's disappearance.

根據投訴，硬碟還包含 Gupta 的納稅申報表和其他財務資訊，以及他存在密碼
管理應用程式的登入名和密碼。 Sarkar在團隊得知硬碟消失後被解僱了。

The team said in a statement that it was "aware of these
allegations and will have no further comment as it is an ongoing
legal matter."

團隊在一份聲明中表示，它
“知道這些指控，不會進一步評論，因為這是一個正在進行的法律問題。”

Per the complaint, Sarkar told police after his arrest that as a
member of Minnesota's coaching staff, he took Gupta's hard drive
to "put some stuff on it" but forgot to return it. After a search
warrant was executed for Sarkar's apartment near Target Center,
authorities uncovered several hard drives, a computer, three
tablets and multiple USB drives, the complaint stated. Police said
one of the devices "contained all the information from [Gupta's]
hard drive."

根據投訴，Sarkar在被捕後告訴警方，作為明尼蘇達州教練組的一員，他拿
走了Gupta的硬碟“在上面放了些東西”，但忘了歸還。 投訴稱，在對塔吉
特中心附近的薩卡公寓執行搜查令後，當局發現了幾臺硬碟、一臺電腦、三
臺平板電腦和多個USB隨身碟。 警方表示，其中一個裝置“包含來自
(Gupta)硬碟的所有資訊”。

"Gupta is concerned that Sarkar is going to disseminate the
proprietary Timberwolves information and his private information,"
one of the court documents stated.

根據法庭文件，Gupta擔心Sarkar將洩漏灰狼的機密資訊和他的私人資料
。

Gupta first joined the Timberwolves in 2019 as an executive vice
president, and he served as interim president of basketball
operations during the 2021-22 season. After Tim Connelly assumed
that role in May 2022, Gupta remained with Minnesota as an
executive vice president under Connelly, leading the analytics
department.

Gupta於2019年首次加入灰狼隊，擔任執行副總裁，並在2021-22賽季擔任
籃球營運臨時總裁。 Tim Connelly 在2022年5月接任該職務後，Gupta繼續
留在球隊擔任 Connelly 的執行副總裁，主管分析部門。
